Program Overview


Overview

You'll develop your own bespoke course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then complete a 24-week research project.

Our teaching is research-informed. Course content changes to reflect developments in:

  • the discipline
  • the requirements of external bodies and partners
  • student feedback
  • Medical and molecular bioscience is a competitive research area. Your studies will be centered around academia. You'll also have an opportunity to access industry experience in some cases.

    Program Outline

    What you'll learn

    You'll study subject-specific content in medical and molecular biosciences research. You'll add to these modules from a broad range of complementary options. You'll also have training in general research principles, professional and key skills.

    Your 24-week research project comprises the major element of the course. You'll receive supervision from an expert academic researcher in the field.

    Modules

    You will study modules on this course. A module is a unit of a course with its own approved aims and outcomes and assessment methods.

    Course content changes

    Module information is intended to provide an example of what you will study.

    Our teaching is informed by research. Course content changes periodically to reflect developments in the discipline, the requirements of external bodies and partners, and student feedback.

    Full details of the modules on offer will be published through the Programme Regulations and Specifications ahead of each academic year. This usually happens in May.

    Optional modules availability

    Some courses have optional modules. Student demand for optional modules may affect availability.
